ridiculous to say that that kind of income won’t convert to wealth quickly and easily.
I never said that, so that’s good
This whole thread of argument started with you pointing out the distinction between income and wealth. The whole point of this argument is that with that much income, it easily becomes wealth.
But it isn’t yet. And saying he’s in the 0.1% is pointless if you’re not talking about wealth, because then you’re (not YOU I know) putting the streamer in the same category as billionaire capitalists, which only obscures things further.
But it isn’t yet.
You don’t know that, I don’t know that, no one knows that. We can only make reasonable assumptions. And the reasonable assumption is that he’d act in his own interest, talk to an accountant, and invest the money, thereby making it wealth.
This is like assuming that a soccer player who makes a few million doesn’t invest the money. Of course he would, why wouldn’t he?
I certainly wouldn’t put him in the same category as billionaire bourgeois though, and I’m sure the person who said “0.1%” wouldn’t either. But he’s clearly wealthy, and that’s more likely than not to affect his behavior.
